What a client wrote

I cannot praise the counseling I received through Kelly's Grief Center enough! My husband died very suddenly the day after we had moved to Kent and I was overcome with grief and anxiety. My sessions with [my therapist] were lifesaving for me. She listened, was empathetic and supportive and was able to give me the concrete tools to help me overcome my crippling anxiety. My family and friends were very loving and supportive but didn't always know how to help me. I am forever grateful that I contacted Kelly's when I was in need of someone who understood my loss.

The therapist's name is left as the Center published it: [my therapist].
